Focus error I am from the Caribbean Island of St.Kitts and I was on holiday in London, England in August 2006 and I bought this camera. It worked wonderfully and I took plenty pictures. I had no problems at all with it until now. When the camera was turned on there was a sound coming from the lens area. The lens are open and will not close. On the screen there is the warning display "focus error." Can I get a solution to fixing this problem Screen says focus error , makes noise.

Hi...The transmission system that moves the lens in and out has a problem with it's gears. There is most likely a gear or an actuator that has fallen out of alignment and is getting stuck at a certain point as the lens comes in/out.There is some dist ...

Lens stuck I have a similar problem. The lens was getting stuck when I was switching in on. Now the lens will not open at all- only a few beeping noises. I can still look at pictures I have taken but not able to take new pictures which is a pain as I am on holiday!

First, if you can, try to save the pictures on the camera to something off the camera. Then, on the camera menu, navigate to the RESET menu option and select it. The camera should reset and hopefully it will function properly. If this doesn'r work, t ...

My sony I just got a DSC-S40 from a friend. I actually swoped my previous camera for this one. When I switch it on, the lens seems to get stuck and not come out all the way. I makes a grinding noise and does not show any picture on the screen. The flash goes off when I push the button, and the little guide dots on the lcd screen shows, but the the screen stays black. I am able to view the photo's that are on the camera taken before this problem, but am unable to take any photo's now. The shutter

My problem is with my Kodak z712 digital camera. I realize this site stated batteries but cannot get to a kodak website. So gonna ask anyway.....i took some pictures and went to the "review" button to check them out and all i get is a blue screen that says "no pictures or videos to display". I just took about 15 pictures and they are all gone. I have never had this problem before. Had the camera about 2 years. excellent camera until this happened. can you tell me what's goin on with it?

I cannot get the pictures off of the memory card on my camera to my computer using the connection cable. I tried accessing the picture directly fromthe memory stick and that did not work either. I have not had any problems before. When I turn the camera on it says "access" accross the screen. How do I get to my pictures to get them on my PC with the above described perdicament.

We continue to have problems once a picture is taken we get file errors or the picture is half merged with another picture. Also, the picture looks fine in the camera, but when we download to the computer it is merged with another picture that was not even loaded on the camera at the same time. We thought we might need to be more agressive in pusing down the shutter button, but this problem is really puzzeling us and causing aggravation. Can you help?

Deleted pictures We purchased a Pentax OptoM40 camera and when we got home we found that all of the pictures that we had take on our vacation were deleted. Can you tell us how we can get them back. We had an older model camera and we wanted to update to the newer one that also takes movies, but we never ever had a problem of pictures being deleted. It seems that a lot of other people also had the same problem. PLEASE HELP US. WE LOST ALL OF OUR VACATION PICTURES. Thank you

My problem was in transferring from camera to PC without "picture power". Nikon installed the new software by phone. I believe the pictures transferred OK but I can't see or find them to do anything with them. I get screens saying network invalid or confirm satus....I feel I may have ignored the "picturetown" thing. I just need help now in getting to the transferred pictures. Thanks, Tom Ward

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster t ...

Communication problem I can't get pictures from my camera when I hook the usb to my camera I get a message saying communication error how do I fix this problem. I have downloaded the new upgrade, and still have the same problem please I need help to fix this issue

SAME PROBLEM I didn't drop S60 or hit anything. When turn on the power, a motor vibration noise will be heard. Turn it off and turn it on again may get it work luckily. The repair center said the belt is not on the motor gear and asked $100 repair charge even it is still in warranty. Seems Nikon S60 has potential quality problem here. There is anyone has same problem here? We may collect such information to claim Nikon to get our right!

If it is still under warranty, you might inform Nikon that if they refuse to fix an obvious defect, you are prepared to notify the Better Business Bureau, your State Attorney General, and some of the popular photography magazines plus anyone else you ...

Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-55mm Lens

I got my Canon a590 this past christmas; since then, every so often, it will not show any image on the screen. All I can see is the menu options. Every time I want to take a picture, all I get is absolute black. However, I can view pictures on a memory card with no problem on the main screen. The last 3-4 times this happened, the problem usually went away within a few days. I've tried replacing the batteries, but to no avail. Is my lens bad, or is it due to a more intricate problem?

Your camera should still be covered under the one year factory warranty. I would go to the Canon website and contact them for a covered repair if I were you.\015\012\015\012Best regards,\015\012Bob ...

I'm having a couple problems with my Nikon D90 and for the life of me that manual is too confusing, The first problem I'm having is.... I'm taking pictures at my sons wrestling events and I can't get it to take clear pictures. If i put it on sports it's one of the worst with blurriness. I don't know a good setting for this? The next problem I'm having at the same events is red eye and or white eye. I know how to change the red eye option however it doesn't stop it from happening and even if I

I imagine your son's wrestling events are held in school gyms with lighting that is less than ideal. If you are taking pictures without a flash then the blurriness you describe could well be due to a slow shutter speed. Your camera is using a slowe ...

Just bought a new Fujifilm Camera model S1800. I get an I/O error when trying to download the pictures from the camera using the Finepix program. I reloaded the program and got the same problem. I have no problem downloading the pictures using the Windows Picture Gallery program so it must be the Finepix p[rogram??

If you really want to use the Finepix program and you've been to the support section of the Fuji website to download any software updates, then I suggest you get a card reader and download the pics to a folder you create on your desktop. Once there, ...

I have a problem that is driving me crazy! I cannot take pictures with my Fuji S5 Pro and then download the pictures onto my computer by just inserting the compact flash card into the slot on my computer. rnAnd then if I use the USB cord from the computer to the camera to download, I have problems getting the pictures into Elements to edit. Can anyone help me in simple terms? I am not very tech savvy.

I have a Canon A75 Powershot in excellent condition. Since yesterday it dosn't work. When it is in capture mode, I cannot see the picture from the LCD display. Display is working. When I try to take picrures I get a black picture with nothing on it, just like I am capturing in a very dark place. But I can see pictures that I have captured before the problem. What can I do?

The problem is that when I try to connect it to my computer to retrieve the pictures on the camera, my computer says that my camera isn't detected. I don't understand why that is because the camera's software works fine. I thought it was a problem with the USB cord, but it works fine with other electronic devices. The USB doesn't seem to work with the camera. I don't get whats the iss

Resolution problems I have my Cannon XT set at large under quality but no matter what the quality setting is set at all my pictures once downloaded have a PPI of 72. I have tried everything possible but still get only 72 PPI pics. I am using Cannon software to download the pictures and have also tried Adobe. What can I do to fix the problem?

Sometimes if you open up a photo in Photoshop, or another bitmap program, it'll display your photo at 72dpi. That's OK because your photo is likely to also be very large in size. Reduce it's size while at the same time allowing those pixels to crunch ...
